Programming in Perl

Perl is the universally applicalble script language: From system administration through web administration up to computational biology.

We will show you the power of perl: From the clever integration of regular expressions in its syntax to object oriented programming. Aided by practical examples you will be able to write simple programs with graphical interface and database connection by the end of the week.

Trainer und Dozenten

Ingo Wichmann is an ardent Perl programmer and has been applying Perl in projects ranging from system administration to payroll accounting.

Martin "Joey" Schulze is a member of the Debian security team and uses Perl for recurring tasks up to user applications with graphical interfaces.

Voraussetzungen

The training course "Programming in Perl" is directed towards experienced computer users and administrators. Participants should be familiar with the use of a text editor and creating directories. They should be able to execute programs via the command line. Programming experience in other languages will be useful but is a prerequisite.
